Does anyone know Jiangduzhai, the ancestral temple of Lian's family, Ducun, Xiangyang Town, Changtai County, Fujian Province? Is there a map?

The above website has pictures and articles

Rooted in Bamin's "Jiangdu Mazaki Rooted" (1)------------------. Changtai County is 17 kilometers south of Zhangzhou City. In the northeast of Changtai County, there is a misty and beautiful Wutian Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a Jiangdu Village built of granite. This is the largest village in Changtai County where Lian clan people live together, with a population of five or six thousand. Lian is also the earliest known family name in Changtai County who moved to Taiwan Province.

Jiangduzhai is currently located in Zhenjiang Du Village, Fangyang, Changtai County. According to the introduction of the old man with wooden handle, Lian's ancestors came from Shangdang (now Changzhi City) in Shanxi Province and moved to Fujian in the Tang Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Lian Xiaoliu moved from Youxi to Baiquan Society in Longyan and Heli. Then it was passed on to the third generation Lian Fajin, who gave birth to two sons. According to Jiangdu's "Lian Family Tree", in the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1449), Lian Fa entered the eldest son and helped his mother to enter the bank of Changtaiqi, and then moved to Jiangdu to become a private school teacher.

Lian da-sheng has two sons, the long room is intermittent, and the second room is intermittent. Lian Shichong soon left Jiangdu and went across the ocean to start a career in Taiwan Province. When he left his hometown Jiangdu, he left a beautiful love story:

At that time, Lian Shichong inherited his stepfather's business and taught near Jiangdu, fell in love with a local girl named Wang, and gave a bamboo forest of the family to the Wangs as a dowry without the consent of his parents. Lian Dazhai was very angry and did not agree to the marriage. Even Shi Chong begged for help. For the sake of love, Shi Chong decided to run away from home. Miss Wang, who loves Lian Chong deeply, expressed her willingness to travel with her sweetheart. So Lian Shichong took Miss Wang to Taiwan Province regardless of the wind and waves, and settled in Tainan. From then on, she started a career in Taiwan Province and became a local family.

Lian's descendants in Taiwan Province have never forgotten their hometown, and often go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors and recognize their relatives; The second house in Jiangdu, Lian Shichong's family, is also prosperous and has developed into a large family. As the relatives of Taiwan Province returned to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, many descendants of Lian Shichong moved to Taiwan Province with their relatives of Taiwan Province to develop.

As time goes by, life is very different. The descendants of Lian, who live in Taiwan Province, have never forgotten their roots. They have painstakingly followed the footsteps of their ancestors across the Taiwan Strait, inheriting the Chinese tradition of patriotism and love for their hometown, leaving a touching historical story. By the first half of the 2th century, the Lian clan in Taipei, Chiayi and other places had close contacts with Jiangdu Village. In Jiangdu Village, Lian Bingzhang and Lian Shiqing were also invited to Taipei to sort out Lian's genealogy, but later they gradually lost contact due to war and other reasons. Since the 198s, Taiwan compatriots of Lian family living in Tainan have started the "ancestor-seeking relay" and returned to Jiangdu Village for three times to visit relatives and visit their ancestors and set up public welfare undertakings, which was praised as a beautiful talk in the local area. In November, 1988, Mr. Lian Shengming from Liu Ying, Tainan, with six names extracted from the tombstones and tablets of the local Lian ancestors, went to Jinjiang, Nan 'an and other places to find their roots. When he was about to go home, he learned from a mainland scholar that many people in Jiangdu Village had moved to Taiwan Province and came to Jiangdu with a glimmer of hope. The villagers warmly received the distant visitor and took out the Jiangdu Lian Family Tree to look for it carefully. After nearly an hour of cross-checking, I found an ancestor named Peng in the "genealogy map". Lian Shengming hurriedly took a look at the genealogy. After the name of Peng, I also noted the biography of "Five sons", namely, forbearance, demonstration, English, male and Han, which were exactly the same as the information he brought. He couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Found, my roots!" The keeper told him: "this is the original genealogy, and the blank left by the ancestors was written by the descendants outside." For more than 2 years, the ancestors finally looked forward to this day. It's true that the ancestors have spirits ... "Lian Shengming listened and flipped the genealogy, and two lines of tears came down. Looking through the autumn water, he repeatedly said," Lucky, really lucky ... "

Accompanied by Lian's clan, Lian Shengming went to Lian's ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors and visited his ancestral home. Then, he left Jiangdu Village with great joy. Before he left, he said affectionately to Lian's clansmen: "I want to bring everyone's affection back to Taiwan Province and tell the clansmen that we are a family. I must come again, and the clansmen in Tainan will certainly come."

winning streak shows that this behavior has built a bridge of friendship between Lian compatriots on both sides of the strait.

Even the old man with wooden handle is still very excited when talking about Taiwan Province's relatives returning to Jiangdu to worship their ancestors. He said that his deepest impression was in 1997.

The old man with a wooden handle said that at present, the ancestral hall of "Zhanyitang" with the same name has been built in Lian's residence in Tainan, Shuangxi and other places in Taiwan Province, and his residence in Taiwan Province is still named after the suburban trunk of Jiangdu Village, Zhengutou, Shicang, Xizhou, Dongxi, Canghou and Tianzhong, so as to remind future generations not to forget their homeland. At the same time, the customs and habits of Jiangdu Village have also crossed the sea, such as the annual ancestor worship on the 16th day of the first lunar month and the spring and winter solstice, and the ancestor sacrifice on April 16th. Even the ceremonies of clan people in Taiwan Province are exactly the same as those in Jiangdu Village. The old man with the wooden handle said that this shows that Lian's family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is of the same origin, and Taiwan Province Lian's family does not forget the family ties in his hometown.
